Well, no movement for me from AE. Didn't fully analyze what all didn't get backfilled... Taking just Crew Resources "won't backfill" words from their last newsletter and the AE, I'd say that lack of upwards movement happened due to, just like they said, not backfilling.

In my cat, of the 25 positions posted during the last 2 AEs, they only actually filled 6 of them, leaving 21 unfilled spots. So I'm not even moving "up" due to guys flowing into cat below me, increasing the cat.

Bummer, was hoping for at least moving up a single person.

HOWEVER, look at that NYC717A! The 2 junior guys were a 3/13/2000 pre-NW guy, (next pre-merge south guy below or above him is 6/4/2001), and a 6/4/2001 guy. They're not really statistical flyers either, as NYC88A goes almost that low, and they're near enough the other guys above them on the NYC717A list. So, it's fair to say that, if a guy has the ABILITY TO MOVE TO NYC and sit reserve, he could be a Capt from 6/4/2001 hire and older.

However, the exact same guys in LAX, SLC, and SEA can barely hold a line on NB FO, and are all sitting right about the lineholder/reserve demarcation. So this may actually just tell us more about how heinous NYC is as an assignment thus forcing waaaaaay juniority, rather than that things are improving for the 2000/2001 guys. Since I'm locked into a location/family situation/backupjob/city/upside-down-mortgage due to 6 years of furlough and what I had to do to survive, and can't actually move to NYC, I'm gonna say this is an indicator of suckiness for NYC.

That's great. We ask for it. How long will you be willing to wait to achieve that? Hypothetically, if the company says no that is. How long would be an acceptable waiting period to achieve those goals? I am not being argumentative here. I want to see the math on the time at which it will not be worth waiting.

I only looked at the 7ER movement. Only 7/90 NYC ER slots were bid so 83 will go to new hires. 10 MSP 7ERB's bid off and all spots were backfilled. Crew resources said they had no plan to backfill MSP or DTW 7ERB's so go figure. I'm looking forward to 83 more FO's below me in NYC ! :D

Ok, question on pay tables...
If I'm in 14 year FO pay (greater than 12), and say I upgrade to 717 capt in a couple months... do I get 1 year Capt pay from the tables, or 12 year capt pay? I'm thinking 12 year?

Hopey Changey. Congrats to all who elected him.

Yes... 12 year. The only pay increases you will get from then on will be for bigger airplanes :rolleyes: or contractual pay increases.

NOVA analyzes the Malaysia 370 mystery. Excellent job.

Pay close attention to the EE compartment access.

They had a great segment on AF 447 a few years back as well.

I saw that earlier but went back and it looks like they updated the results because they are no longer showing

There were two new hires whose one year freeze was not in the system when the AE was processed. It was corrected as soon as the award was published.

The 21 unfilled slots will most likely be awarded to new hires.
